INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY

By PW Nutritionist Grace Scott

So it’s International Women’s Day 2020, and the theme this year? “An equal world is an enabled world.” Amen to that! Given that 70% of our customer base is female we’ve decided to dedicate this piece to the day and provide some yummy recipes themed by International Women’s Day!

A day originally pledged in 1911, it is day that collectively belongs to all organisations, countries’ and individuals supporting the cause; equality, unity and human rights. Together we can challenge stereotypes, broaden perceptions and celebrate women’s achievements!

Purple is the recognised colour of the International Women’s Day; we’ve taken that as inspiration to develop these IWD recipes!
